At
the School of Public Health in New Brunswick:
Master of science (M.S.) in biostatistics
students will have the comprehensive knowledge and technical skills needed for
planning and conducting statistical analyses for studies that are required for evidence-based medicine, epidemiology survey, and public health policy decisions. The objectives of the
M.S. in biostatistics program are: 1) to educate graduate students as
biostatisticians at the master's level with the ability to collaborate and
consult with researchers of other disciplines in the biomedical and public
health sciences; 2) to meet the need for well-trained master's-level
biostatisticians for the pharmaceutical industry, medical research institutions,
and public health and other governmental organizations in New Jersey and
nationwide; and 3) to identify and educate promising doctoral students in biostatistics. In addition, for those graduate students who may intend to continue their
studies toward a Ph.D. in biostatistics, the M.S. in biostatistics program
will equip them with the necessary training and preparation for further
advanced studies and research.
